CO2 storage capacity of deep aquifers and hydrocarbon fields in Poland–EU GeoCapacity Project results

AbstractIt was showed results of CO2 storage capacity estimation in aquifers and hydrocarbon deposits in Poland, which were achieved within realization of 6 FP project EU GeoCapacity. CO2 storage capacity was calculated in Mesozoic aquifers at regional scale (Lower Cretaceous–7,647 Mt, Lower Jurassic–43,826 Mt, Lower Triassic–26,494 Mt) and for selected 18 geological structures (3,522 Mt). Storage capacity calculated for Polish hydrocarbon fields, using an assumption of 1:1 volumetric replacement of hydrocarbons with supercritical CO2, is 764.32 Mt and storage capacities of particular fields are diverse
